A low pressure will form near the Odisha coast on Friday, July 10, 2015. This system will be a big rain maker and move through Chattisgarh and onto Madhya Pradesh after that. But it will start weakening and is not likely to reach western India.
The dire predictions of the Indian Meteorological Department seems to be coming true. The monsoon appears weak. In July usually the Bay of Bengal hurls lows and depressions one after another that cut across central and western India and bring rains to Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana-Punjab.
This year not one such system has formed. Gujarat was lucky to have that Arabian Sea depression in late June. Rajasthan still thirsts for rains.
The Bay of Bengal low that will form on July 10, 2015 will be a weak one. Weak low pressures equals weak rainy season this year.
The Western Pacific Ocean is presently spewing a string of powerful typhoons, one after another. Typhoons Chan-Hom, Linfa, Nangka, And there are a couple of Invests in the waiting list. Phew! Its sucking off steam from the monsoons.
